Guard House, South Queensferry, EH30 9YH

The former guard house comprises a single storey building. The property contains several rooms that present significant potential for redevelopment, refurbishment, or reconfiguration.

Port Edgar Barracks in South Queensferry is undergoing redevelopment, which will generate a new unique mixed-use community. The proposed plan includes a mixture of 49 flats, single storey and two storey family homes. New access routes and connections will be established, including a path to the private beach. The redevelopment will preserve and repurpose the nationally significant Category B-listed buildings, ensuring their long-term future while contributing new housing and community facilities to South Queensferry.
